This is my favourite food. Where possible I'm using food from the garden or cheap, locally sourced food. To be quite honest, it would be lovely to inspire someone else to try any of the recipes but, ultimately, I'm compiling all the recipes my boys may need when they eventually fly the nest and need to impress someone special or just think of home...

breaded chicken with potato wedges

I first discovered this recipe in my catering class at school. With a few twists, I made this into the perfect dish. The bread crumbs were especially good because they were a nice crispy coating to the chicken. I presented the meal on 5 plates then fed it to my family. Arthur de Neve (I'm 13, by the way)
